This is a real “good news, bad news” weather forecast. For those fighting the rising flood waters (including the Canadian troops who are now in Gatineau), the good news is the rain is expected to stop sometime this afternoon.

The Rangers have twice blown chances to close out the Senators in games at the Canadian Tire Centre. Now they're in danger of being closed out themselves.

Mark Stone's opening-period goal was a very big one for the Senators, in different ways.

Chris Neil suited up for Game 5, as Senators coach Guy Boucher did the right thing in response to Tanner Glass' manhandling of Kyle Turris late in Game 4.

The Senators decided against using Erik Karlsson in the third period of a Game 4 loss to the Rangers, and he came back with a strong showing in Game 5.

Hundreds of volunteers filled sandbags in the steady rain Saturday at Constance Bay’s community centre as the waters of the Ottawa River rose in the flood-ravaged west Ottawa neighbourhood.
